The Blue Eagle

Traditional


Tab and Notes by Robert Bulkley

Here's a Texas style tune. I like to pick out the triplets in the first few bars of the second part, rather than hammer them on, and have indicated some pick directions with "d" and "u"- which sometimes spells "dudu," and I hope that's what this arrangement is NOT... Don't take it too fast (try syncopating the eighth notes), use those Texas backup chords, and enjoy the D-Bm progression on the second part!
